Hi all
Not to mention another option to Full Canvas Replacement BUT, for the
Past 4 years I have offered a Kit to replace just the screen if that
is the only thing wrong with the canvas. We have sold a few 100 kits
and have saved the VW crowd from replacing good OEM canvas by
replacing screen only.
I would have posted it earlier this weekend but My website went down
and came back up on Monday.
Here is a link to the screen kit. This is ONLY for the 76 to 86
Bus/Vanagons and 87-88 Vanagons. 89 and later zip in with Velcro. We
are debating on making a new screen for that but not in stone yet.
Hope this helps you not spend good coin for a simple 45-60 min fix
you can do yourself.

Also we have revised the pattern for the 87-88 Vanagons. Nicer
Pattern is all. Same basic idea.
Thanks Jonce
BTW Made in USA with American made Products By Americans. Gotta love it!
